Keep reading to learn more about what you can expect with the 2019 Ford Mustang.
Design
The 2019 Ford Mustang is part of the generation that began with the 2015 model year. Most Mustang trims have room enough for four people, but some of the track-focused editions, such as the Shelby GT350R, only have front seats and room enough for two people. The interior styling leans on its classic muscle car image with a retro design, and it blends nicely with more modern touches. In addition, the vehicle’s cargo space is generous and boasts 13.5 cubic feet of space. This number is larger than almost any other trunk space in sports cars.
Engine
There are two engine options with the 2019 Ford Mustang: the standard 2.3-liter, four-cylinder 310-horsepower engine and the 5.0-liter, 460-horsepower V-8 engine. Both come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, but you can upgrade for the 10-speed automatic option. The standard EcoBoost engine features launch control and electric line-lock. This element is designed to heat up the rear tires while the car is in place.
Performance
When outfitted with the standard four-cylinder engine, the 2019 Ford Mustang attains excellent fuel economy. It gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. If you have the V-8 engine, the fuel economy falters and gets an EPA-estimated 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The vehicle also comes with rear-wheel drive.
Safety Features
Although most sports cars aren’t known for their safety features, the 2019 Ford Mustang puts those thoughts to rest. Both rear seats come with a full set of LATCH connectors, and this includes two lower anchors and one tether. Standard safety features include a rearview camera and the Ford MyKey system, which lets you set limits to the vehicle’s speed and issues reminders about fastening seat belts. Upper trims receive additional features, such as rear parking sensors, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and forward collision alert with brake support.
As one of the safest vehicles in its class, the Mustang scored a perfect five-star overall safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHSA) gave the Mustang the highest rating in four crash tests and the second-highest rating in the driver-side small overlap front test.
